Can keto help with inflammation?

The keto diet is a great way to reduce inflammation for most people. Although it isn’t formulated as an anti-inflammatory diet, the keto diet consists of many more anti-inflammatory foods and fewer inflammatory foods than a typical westernized diet.

On top of that, the keto diet also allows you to sustain ketosis for long periods of time, which has been shown to reduce cellular damage and inflammation.

Altogether, the keto diet allows us to decrease inflammation by limiting omega-6s, high glycemic foods, and overly processed foods the facilitate inflammatory processes and promoting the consumption of more omega-3s, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that calm inflammation. As a result, inflammation levels decrease, and the body starts producing more ketones which help reduce inflammation even further.
